The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of An Lingrong: Counterattack to Become the Queen Mother

"Sister, Chun'er really scared us this time!" An Lingrong sat next to Zhen Huan, looking at the still weak Chun'er, her eyes full of worry.

"Yes, Lingrong, this time it's all thanks to Chun'er, otherwise... I dare not think about it." Zhen Huan held Chun'er's hand tightly, tears flashing in her eyes.

"We must protect Chun'er and not let her fall into danger again." Jingpin said seriously.

"Well, we need to strengthen our defenses. By the way, what happened to the palace maid who stabbed Chun'er?" Zhen Huan asked.

"She has been locked up and is being interrogated. We must find out if there is anyone else behind her." Jingpin replied.

After a few days, Chun'er's injuries improved, and Zhen Huan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. That day, Zhen Huan took a walk in the Imperial Garden, hoping to relax her tense nerves.

"Zhen Huan? It's really you!" A familiar and surprising voice came.

Zhen Huan turned around and saw Prince Guo. She was startled, and a complex emotion welled up in her. "Prince... why are you here?"

"I came to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you...doing well?" Prince Guo looked at Zhen Huan with deep affection in his eyes.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am doing fine." Zhen Huan lowered her head slightly to avoid his burning gaze.

"Zhen Huan, why should we be so distant from each other? You know my heart." Prince Guo took a step closer.

"Your Highness, this is the imperial palace. I hope you will respect yourself." Zhen Huan was a little flustered. She knew that they could no longer be like before.

"I don't care! Since you entered the palace, I have missed you every day." Prince Guo said excitedly.

"Your Highness, we can't go back. I am the emperor's concubine now, and you are the prince. We cannot do anything beyond the rules." Zhen Huan bit her lip.

"But our feelings are real! Can you forget every little thing we have experienced?" Prince Guo held Zhen Huan's shoulders.

"Your Highness, stop talking!" Zhen Huan broke free from his hand. "We can't do this. If someone finds out..."

At this moment, An Lingrong passed by and saw this scene. She was shocked and quickly hid behind a tree, not daring to breathe.

"Sister Lingrong, what's wrong with you?" Baojuan asked curiously.

"Don't make any noise!" An Lingrong scolded in a low voice.

After Zhen Huan and Prince Guo separated, An Lingrong came out from behind the tree, her face looking very solemn.

"My lady, what's wrong with you? You don't look well." Baojuan said worriedly.

"Baojuan, go back first. I want to be alone." An Lingrong sent Baojuan away and fell into deep thought.

"Zhen Huan and Prince Guo... How could they be together? Is the past life repeating itself?" An Lingrong murmured to herself. She recalled the lingering yet tragic love between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo in her past life, which ultimately caused Zhen Huan to lose almost everything.

"I can't let this happen again, but how should I tell Zhen Huan? She is on guard against me now." An Lingrong frowned.

On the other side, Zhen Huan returned to the palace and could not calm down for a long time.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? You look like you are worried about something." Liu Zhu asked with concern.

"Liuzhu, it's nothing, I'm just a little tired." Zhen Huan said perfunctorily.

"Miss, if you have any troubles, you can tell us." Huanbi also said.

"It's really okay, don't ask anymore." Zhen Huan was a little annoyed.

At this time, Concubine Jing came.

"Zhen Huan, I came to see you. How is Chun'er?" asked Jingpin.

"Chun'er is much better now. Thank you, Concubine Jing, for your concern." Zhen Huan replied.

"That's good. By the way, I heard some strange rumors today." Concubine Jing looked at Zhen Huan and said.

"What rumor?" Zhen Huan's heart tightened.

"Someone said that they saw you with a man in the Imperial Garden, and your behavior was a bit intimate." Concubine Jing frowned.

"What? Who is spreading rumors?" Zhen Huan was shocked.

"I don't know either, but if this rumor reaches the emperor's ears, it will be troublesome. You should be careful recently." Jingpin reminded.

"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhen Huan said gratefully.

Zhen Huan knew that once such a rumor spread within the harem, it would be like a cancer that would continue to spread. She had to find a way to resolve it.

After hesitating for a few days, An Lingrong decided to talk to Zhen Huan.

"Sister Zhen Huan, I have something to tell you." An Lingrong came to Zhen Huan's palace.

"Lingrong, what's the matter?" Zhen Huan asked.

"Sister, I saw you and Prince Guo in the Imperial Garden." An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan and said directly.

"You...you saw everything?" Zhen Huan's face changed.

"Sister, do you know how dangerous this is for you? Once discovered, not only you but the entire Zhen family will be implicated!" An Lingrong said seriously.

"Lingrong, the prince and I...we just exchanged a few words, nothing much." Zhen Huan defended herself.

"Sister, don't lie to me. I can see that there is affection between you. But this is the palace, not a place to talk about love. Besides, do you still remember things in your previous life?" An Lingrong said anxiously.

"Previous life? Lingrong, what are you talking about? What previous life?" Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong in surprise.

"Sister, there are some things I can't explain to you clearly now, but you must believe me. You can't have anything to do with Prince Guo anymore, otherwise there will be a disaster." An Lingrong said earnestly.

"Lingrong, I know the pros and cons of this matter, and I will handle it." Zhen Huan said.

"I hope you can keep your word. I don't want to see you in danger." An Lingrong said and left.

Zhen Huan fell into deep thought. She didn't know what An Lingrong meant by the previous life, but she knew that her feelings for Prince Guo had to be buried deep in her heart.

However, the matter did not end there. The Queen heard the rumors about Zhen Huan and Prince Guo from somewhere, and she called Concubine Cao to come.

"Noble Lady Cao, have you heard about what happened between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo?" asked the Queen.

"Your Majesty, I have heard a little about it." Concubine Cao replied.

"Hmph! This is a good opportunity. We can't let Zhen Huan get away so easily." A hint of viciousness flashed in the queen's eyes.

"What plans does your Majesty have?" asked Concubine Cao.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Zhen Huan and Prince Guo. Once we find evidence that they are having an affair, we can bring down Zhen Huan," said the Queen.

"Yes, your majesty, I will definitely see to it." Concubine Cao took the order and left.

Zhen Huan is still unaware that danger is approaching step by step. She is still working hard for the harmony of the harem, while also trying hard to suppress her feelings for Prince Guo.

"Sister, I heard there are some bad rumors about you recently." Chun'er was able to get out of bed and walk around, and she heard some rumors.

"Chun'er, don't worry, sister will take care of it." Zhen Huan comforted her.

"Sister, you can't be in any danger! Those bad guys must want to harm you." Chun'er hugged Zhen Huan.

"Chun'er, as long as you are here, I won't let them succeed." Zhen Huan said with a smile, but her heart was extremely heavy.

In this turbulent harem, Zhen Huan's feelings and fate are like a candle in the wind, which may be blown out at any time, and the forbidden love between her and Prince Guo will also face even more severe tests.
